Tobin Sprout – Future Boy / Man Of Tomorrow

Tobin Sprout, formerly of indie rock icons Guided by Voices, will release his sixth solo album The Universe and Me via Burger Records in February.

The record was hatched during a seven-year gestation period that included unearthing lost recordings and digging through a treasure chest of memories in his home studio in Michigan, where he composed behind his shambling grand piano and trembling, boyish voice.

First single is Future Boy Today/Man of Tomorrow, which was originally being saved for GBV, and is a marvellous riot of heady power-pop and epic psych-rock, and was inspired by Sprout’s fascination with superheroes from his childhood.
